Default ? dual-boot Win XP Pro & Win MCE...

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible, or has done, a dual-boot setup of Win XP Pro and Win MCE (2005)? I'm curious to know if it is possible and if so, what is the bes way to go about it and any potential problems.

My current setup is I have a Athlon 64 3800+ with 1TB RAID 0 running Win XP Pro. I have partitioned the OS onto C: with 50GB and left the rest as general storage for the moment. I also have a digital TV tuner card, which is why I'm thinking of installing MCE.

All help and info gratefully reeived.

Cheers,
Aquaboy.

Howdy Aquaboy.
Yes it is possible.. What your going to have to do is partition some of that free space for MSC.

Keep your XP pro installed then add MSC to another partition (hopefully on another hd) but doesnt need to be. As MSC is just XP home with some tweaks to it.
